Princess Isi was taught wind-speech by her aunt. Her aunt said "I can understand what they say, I can teach you if you'd like." Her mother thinks she is crazy and sends her to a foreign country to be queen. On the way her own country attempts a cuop d'etat but the princess escapes and becomes a Goose Girl for the castle while her assistant takes Isi's place as queen. Isi falls in love with the man she was supposed to marry. The book is in a series and the stories just get better. If you like to read about love, war, sabotage, and humor this is the book for you.
I started to read Forest Born (bk 4) when it first came out, but since there were some holds on it I wasn't able to finish it. I found I couldn't really remember some of the earlier books, so I probably need to go back and read them. I usually like fairy tale books, but my favorite Shannon Hale books are Book of a Thousand Days and The Princess Academy.
ReplyDeleteA lot of my friends have read this book and said it was amazing I'm hoping to read it after I finish the other books I'm reading
ReplyDeleteI read this book before. It was really good! It was really intense at parts though...! I remember that it was really sad too.... I need to finish the series! I like the review!
